Too much freedom?

Bernard Suzanne's reading from Plato's Republic :

And, if you please, I shall proceed a little further, continuing the translation of this text in my own excessively free reading: "Vigorous indeed, but what comes after this?" says Adeimantus. Socrates continues, "The same disease essentially that arising in the oligarchy, destroyed it; namely, the same, but even stronger excess from too much freedom, license actually, turns a democracy into a slave state. The very nature of Being, when any process reaches full excess, loves to change things into their opposites; this is seen in the calendar seasons, in growing plants, in the physiology of human and animal bodies, and not any less in politics."
